Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS | 1. BUSINESS: Universal Display Corporation (the Company) is a leader in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technologies and materials for use in display and solid-state lighting applications. OLEDs are thin, lightweight and power-efficient solid-state devices that emit light that can be manufactured on both flexible and rigid substrates, making them highly suitable for use in full-color displays and as lighting products. OLED displays are capturing a growing share of the display market. The Company believes this is because OLEDs offer potential advantages over competing display technologies with respect to power efficiency, contrast ratio, viewing angle, video response time, form factor and manufacturing cost. The Company also believes that OLED lighting products have the potential to replace many existing light sources in the future because of their high power efficiency, excellent color rendering index, low operating temperature and novel form factor. The Company's technology leadership and intellectual property position should enable it to share in the revenues from OLED displays and lighting products as they enter mainstream consumer and other markets. The Company's primary business strategy is to (1) further develop and license its proprietary OLED technologies to manufacturers of products for display applications, such as mobile phones, televisions, tablets, wearables, portable media devices, notebook computers, personal computers, and automotive interiors, and specialty and general lighting products; and (2) develop new OLED materials and sell existing and any new materials to those product manufacturers. The Company has established a significant portfolio of proprietary OLED technologies and materials, primarily through internal research and development efforts and acquisitions of patents and patent applications, as well as maintaining its relationships with world-class partners such as Princeton University (Princeton), the University of Southern California (USC), the University of Michigan (Michigan) and PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG Industries). The Company currently owns, exclusively licenses or has the sole right to sublicense more than 4,500 patents issued and pending worldwide. The Company sells its proprietary OLED materials to customers for evaluation and use in commercial OLED products. The Company also enters into agreements with manufacturers of OLED display and lighting products under which it grants them licenses to practice under its patents and to use the Company's proprietary know-how. At the same time, the Company works with these and other companies who are evaluating the Company's OLED technologies and materials for possible use in commercial OLED display and lighting products. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Display Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UDC, Inc., UDC Ireland Limited, Universal Display Corporation Hong Kong, Limited, Universal Display Corporation Korea, Y.H., Universal Display Corporation Japan GK, Universal Display Corporation China, Ltd. and Adesis, Inc. (Adesis). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Business Combinations Accounting for acquisitions requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which is when all information necessary is obtained not to exceed one year, adjustments may be recorded to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of income. Management’s Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates made are principally in the areas of the use and recoverability of inventories, intangibles and income taxes including realization of deferred tax assets, and retirement benefit plan liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its remaining investments as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is a result of chemical sales, royalties and license fees. These receivables have historically been paid timely. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, the Company believes there is no significant risk of collection. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, allowances for doubtful accounts would be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was none, $100,000 and none at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, including inventory consigned to customers, and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventory valuation and firm committed purchase order assessments are performed on a quarterly basis and those items that are identified to be obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage are written down to their estimated realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are based upon management’s analyses and assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. A 12-month rolling forecast based on factors, including, but not limited to, production cycles, anticipated product orders, marketing forecasts, backlog, and shipment activities is used in the inventory analysis. If market conditions are less favorable than forecasts or actual demand from customers is lower than estimates, additional inventory write-downs may be required. If demand is higher than expected, inventories that had previously been written down may be sold. Certain of the Company’s customers have assumed the responsibility for maintaining the Company's inventory at their location based on the customers' demand forecast. Notwithstanding the fact that the Company builds and ships the inventory, the customer does not purchase the consigned inventory until the inventory is drawn or pulled by the customer to be used in the manufacture of the customer’s product. Though the consigned inventory may be at the customer’s physical location, it remains inventory owned by the Company until the inventory is drawn or pulled, which is the time at which the sale takes place. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of thirty years for building, fifteen years for building improvements, and three to seven years for office and lab equipment and furniture and fixtures. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and betterments are capitalized. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in other operating expenses. Certain costs of computer software obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Costs for maintenance and training, as well as the cost of software that does not add functionality to an existing system, are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Company management continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances might indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision, or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. As of December 31, 2017, Company management believed that no revision to the remaining useful lives or write-down of the Company’s long-lived assets was required, and similarly, no such revisions were required for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015. Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth fiscal quarter and, when specific circumstances dictate, between annual tests. If it is determined that goodwill has been impaired, then its carrying value is written down to fair value. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be conducted; otherwise, no further steps are necessary as no potential impairment exists. If necessary, the second step to measure the impairment loss would be to compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Any excess of the reporting unit goodwill carrying value over the respective implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of December 31, 2017 utilizing a qualitative evaluation and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of Adesis (see Note 3) is greater than its carrying value. Company management believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. Future impairment tests will continue to be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if a triggering event occurs. As of December 31, 2017, no indications of impairment exist. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable approximate fair value in the accompanying financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash equivalents and investments, are carried at fair value. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue Material sales relate to the Company’s sale of its OLED materials for incorporation into its customers’ commercial OLED products or for their OLED development and evaluation activities. Material sales are recognized at the time title passes, which is typically at the time of shipment or at the time of delivery, depending upon the contractual agreement between the parties. The Company receives license and royalty payments under certain commercial, development and technology evaluation agreements, some of which are non-refundable. These payments may include royalty and license fees made pursuant to license agreements and certain commercial supply agreements. Amounts received are deferred and classified as either current or non-current deferred revenue based upon current contractual remaining terms; however, based upon on-going relationships with customers, as well as future agreement extensions and other factors, amounts classified as current as of December 31, 2017 may not be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months. For arrangements with extended payment terms where the fee is not fixed and determinable, the Company recognizes revenue when the payment is due and payable. Royalty revenue and license fees included as part of commercial supply agreements are recognized when earned and the amount is fixed and determinable. If the Company used different estimates for the useful life of the licensed technology, or if fees are fixed and determinable, reported revenue during the relevant period would differ. Contract research services revenue is revenue earned by performing organic and organometallic synthetics research, development and commercialization on a contractual basis. These services range from intermediates for structure-activity relationship studies, reference agents and building blocks for combinatorial synthesis, re-synthesis of key intermediates, specialty organic chemistry needs, and selective toll manufacturing. These services are provided to third-party pharmaceutical and life sciences firms and other technology firms at fixed costs or on an annual contract basis. Revenue is recognized as services are performed with billing schedules and payment terms negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis. Payments received in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. In other cases, services may be provided and revenue is recognized before the client is invoiced. In these cases, revenue recognized will exceed amounts billed and the difference, representing amounts which are currently unbillable to the customer pursuant to contractual terms, is recorded as an unbilled receivable. Technology development and support revenue is revenue earned from government contracts, development and technology evaluation agreements and commercialization assistance fees, which includes reimbursements by government entities for all or a portion of the research and development costs the Company incurs in relation to its government contracts. Revenues are recognized proportionally as research and development costs are incurred, or as defined milestones are achieved. In 2017, the Company's most significant commercial license agreement was a 2011 license agreement with Samsung Display Co., Ltd. (SDC) covering the manufacture and sale of specified OLED display materials. Under the 2011 agreement, the Company was being paid a license fee, payable in semi-annual installments over the agreement term of 6.4 years. The installments, which were due in the second and fourth quarter of each year, increased on an annual basis over the term of the 2011 agreement. The 2011 agreement conveyed to SDC the non-exclusive right to use certain of the Company's intellectual property assets for a limited period of time that were less than the estimated life of the assets. Ratable recognition of revenue was impacted by the agreement's extended increasing payment terms in light of the Company's limited history with similar agreements. As a result, revenue was recognized at the lesser of the proportional performance approach (ratable) and the amount of due and payable fees from SDC. Given the increasing contractual payment schedule, license fees under the 2011 agreement were recognized as revenue when they became due and payable in the second and fourth quarter of each year. At the same time the Company entered into the 2011 patent license agreement with SDC, the Company also entered into a supplemental material purchase agreement with SDC. Under the 2011 supplemental material purchase agreement, SDC agreed to purchase from the Company a minimum dollar amount of phosphorescent emitter materials for use in the manufacture of licensed products. This minimum purchase commitment was subject to SDC’s requirements for phosphorescent emitter materials and the Company’s ability to meet these requirements over the term of the supplemental agreement. The 2011 license and purchase agreements with SDC expired on December 31, 2017, and on February 13, 2018, the Company entered into a new patent license agreement and supplemental purchase agreement, with an effective date of January 1, 2018. These 2018 agreements extend for a five-year term and provide SDC with an option to extend the agreements for two additional years. Under the 2018 license agreement, SDC has a non-exclusive license to make and sell certain OLED displays under the Company’s patent portfolio, and pays license fees to the Company. The 2018 supplemental purchase agreement provides for certain minimum annual purchase obligations of phosphorescent emitter material from the Company for use in the manufacture of licensed products. SDC is currently the largest manufacturer of AMOLED displays for handset and other personal electronic devices. In 2015, the Company entered into an OLED patent license agreement and an OLED commercial supply agreement with LG Display Co., Ltd. (LG Display) which were effective as of January 1, 2015 and superseded the 2007 commercial supply agreement between the parties. The new agreements have a term that is set to expire by the end of 2022. The patent license agreement provides LG Display a non-exclusive, royalty bearing portfolio license to make and sell OLED displays under the Company's patent portfolio. The patent license calls for license fees, prepaid royalties and running royalties on licensed products. The prepaid royalty amount is included in deferred revenue and a portion of this amount can be credited against total royalties due over the life of the contract. The agreements include customary provisions relating to warranties, indemnities, confidentiality, assignability and business terms. The agreements provide for certain other minimum obligations relating to the volume of material sales anticipated over the term of the agreements, as well as minimum royalty revenue to be generated under the patent license agreement. The Company expects to generate revenue under these agreements that are predominantly tied to LG Display’s sales of OLED licensed products. The OLED commercial supply agreement provides for the sale of materials for use by LG Display, which may include phosphorescent emitters and host materials. In 2016, the Company entered into an OLED Technology License Agreement and Commercial Material Supply Agreement with Tianma Micro-electronics Co., Ltd. (Tianma) which were both effective July 21, 2016 and run for five years. Under the license agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary UDC Ireland Limited, has granted Tianma non-exclusive license rights under various patents owned or controlled by the Company to manufacture and sell OLED display products. The license agreement calls for license fees and running royalties on licensed products. Additionally, the agreement provides for the sale of phosphorescent OLED materials to Tianma for use in its licensed products. In 2017, the Company entered into long-term, multi-year agreements with BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. (BOE). Under these agreements, the Company granted BOE non-exclusive license rights under various patents owned or controlled by the Company to manufacture and sell OLED display products. The Company has also agreed to supply phosphorescent OLED materials to BOE. The Company records taxes billed to customers and remitted to various governmental entities on a gross basis in both revenues and cost of material sales in the consolidated statements of income. The amounts of these pass through taxes reflected in revenues and cost of material sales were $409,000, $171,000 and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. All sales transactions are billed and due within 90 days and substantially all are transacted in U.S. dollars. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements for discussion of revenue recognition under the new standard effective January 1, 2018. Cost of Sales Cost of sales consists of labor and material costs associated with the production of materials processed at the Company's manufacturing partners and at the Company's internal manufacturing processing facilities. The Company’s portion of cost of sales also includes depreciation of manufacturing equipment, as well as manufacturing overhead costs and inventory adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory. Research and Development Expenditures for research and development are charged to operations as incurred. Patent Costs Costs associated with patent applications, patent prosecution, patent defense and the maintenance of patents are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to successfully defend a challenge to a patent are capitalized to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patent. Costs that relate to an unsuccessful outcome are charged to expense. Amortization of Acquired Technology Amortization costs relate to technology acquired from BASF, Fujifilm and Motorola. These acquisitions were completed in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Acquisition costs are being amortized over a period of 10 years for the BASF and Fujifilm patents and 7.5 years for the Motorola patents. Amortization of Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets from the Adesis acquisition are being amortized over a period of 10 to 15 years. See Note 8 for further discussion. Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for the Company's Ireland subsidiary is also the U.S. dollar and the functional currency for each of the Company's Asia-Pacific foreign subsidiaries is its local currency. The Company translates the amounts included in the consolidated statements of income from its Asia-Pacific foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange rates, which the Company believes are representative of the actual exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. The Company's foreign subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars from the local currency at the actual exchange rates as of the end of each reporting date, and the Company records the resulting foreign exchange translation adjustments in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The overall effect of the translation of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions to date has been insignificant. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount of which the likelihood of realization is greater than 50%. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. Share-Based Payment Awards The Company recognizes in the consolidated statements of income the grant-date fair value of equity based awards such as shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance unit awards issued to employees and directors. The grant-date fair value of stock awards is based on the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. The fair value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures. The Company issues new shares upon the respective grant, exercise or vesting of the share-based payment awards, as applicable. Performance unit awards are subject to either a performance-based or market-based vesting requirement. For performance-based vesting, the grant-date fair value of the award, based on fair value of the Company's common stock, is recognized over the service period, based on an assessment of the likelihood that the applicable performance goals will be achieved and compensation expense is periodically adjusted based on actual and expected performance. Compensation expense for performance unit awards with market-based vesting is calculated based on the estimated fair value as of the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new revenue recognition standard entitled Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The new standard will mainly impact how the Company recognizes revenue on its commercial license and material supply agreements with customers. Currently, the Company recognizes revenue on license agreements with fixed-fee arrangements on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract agreement. In addition, the Company recognizes royalty revenue one quarter in arrears based on sales information received from its customers typically received after disclosing that quarter’s results. The rights and benefits to the Company’s OLED technology are conveyed to the customer through technology license agreements and material supply agreements. The Company has determined under the new standard that these agreements can be combined and that the licenses and materials sold under these combined agreements are not distinct from each other for financial reporting purposes and as such, will be accounted for as a single performance obligation. The Company also acknowledges that the rights to future patents or licenses would be distinct from existing patent rights. Accordingly, the total contract consideration will be estimated and recognized over the contract term based on material units sold. Under the new guidance, various estimates will need to be relied upon to recognize revenue. The Company will estimate total material fees to be purchased by its customers over the contract term based on historical trends and its forecast process. Additionally, management will estimate the total sales-based royalties based on the estimated net sales revenue of its customers. The Company is using the “modified retrospective” adoption method. The Company estimates that adoption of the new standard will result in an increase in deferred revenue of $21.3 million offset by a reduction of retained earnings of $21.0 million and unbilled receivables of $0.3 million. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No, 2016-02, Leases In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-16 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS | 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: On June 23, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Adesis, Inc., a privately held contract research organization (CRO) with then 43 employees specializing in organic and organometallic synthetic research, development, and commercialization. Adesis is a technology vendor to companies in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, biomaterials, and catalyst industries, and has worked with the Company over the last few years to help advance and accelerate a number of the Company’s product offerings. The transaction closed on July 11, 2016. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s subsidiary, UDC, Inc., acquired all outstanding shares of Adesis in a merger for $33.9 million in cash, and up to an additional $2.4 million in cash contingent upon Adesis’ achievement of certain milestones within two years of the acquisition. The acquisition was funded through use of existing cash and investments. Purchase Price Allocation The Company accounted for Adesis using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP whereby the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay up to $1.2 million of additional consideration to the former shareholders of Adesis if revenues exceed certain threshold levels at the end of each twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017. For both of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the additional cash consideration earned by the former shareholders of Adesis was $1.2 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was derived using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on management’s projections of future revenue levels. The following table summarizes the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands): Cash consideration $ 33,872 Contingent consideration 1,670 $ 35,542 Allocation of purchase price: Current assets, including cash of $492 $ 2,204 Property and equipment 1,869 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (906 ) Net tangible assets 3,167 Identifiable intangible assets 16,840 Goodwill 15,535 Total purchase price $ 35,542 The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction. This difference includes a going concern element that represents the Company’s ability to earn a higher rate of return on this group of assets than would be expected on the separate assets as determined during the valuation process. Transaction costs of $360,000 were recorded and charged to selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of income during 2016. Intangible Assets Identified The following table presents the intangible assets identified in the transaction: Category Estimated fair value (in thousands) Estimated useful life (in years) Customer relationships $ 10,520 11.5 Internally-developed IP, processes and recipes 4,820 15.0 Trade name/Trademarks 1,500 10.0 Total identifiable intangible assets $ 16,840 The fair value of the customer relationships asset was determined using the income approach through an excess earnings analysis which estimates value based on the present value of future economic benefits. The customer relationships intangible asset represents relationships between Adesis and its customers. The fair value of the internally-developed IP, processes and recipes was determined by utilizing the relief-from-royalty methodology. The fair value of the Adesis trade name asset was determined using the income approach through a relief-from-royalty analysis. The determination of useful lives was based upon consideration of market participant assumptions and transaction specific factors. Impact on Operating Results The results of Adesis’ operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the July 11, 2016 date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of Adesis occurred at the beginning of the respective periods presented (in thousands): 2016 2015 Revenue $ 202,547 $ 197,375 Net income 44,718 12,661 The unaudited pro forma information presented is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect future events that may occur after December 31, 2017, or any operating efficiencies or inefficiencies that may result from the Adesis acquisition. Additionally, this unaudited pro forma information includes certain one-time costs associated with the Company’s integration of the acquired Adesis operations. Therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the business been combined during the periods presented or the results that the Company will experience going forward. |

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value of the investments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss). If a decline in fair value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the cost of the Company’s investment will be written down by the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment with a resulting charge to net income. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of investments as of December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016. |

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | 8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Purchased intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of acquired technology and other intangible assets that include trade names, customer relationships and internally developed IP processes. Acquired Technology Acquired technology consists of acquired license rights for patents and know-how obtained from PD-LD, Inc., Motorola, BASF SE (BASF) and Fujifilm. These intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 PD-LD, Inc. $ 1,481 $ 1,481 Motorola 15,909 15,909 BASF 95,989 95,989 Fujifilm 109,462 109,462 222,841 222,841 Less: Accumulated amortization (91,312 ) (70,714 ) Acquired technology, net $ 131,529 $ 152,127 Amortization expense related to acquired technology was $20.6 million, $15.9 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense is included in amortization of acquired technology and other intangible assets expense line item on the consolidated statements of income and is expected to be $20.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, $20.5 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2019 through 2021 and $15.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. Motorola Patent Acquisition In 2000, the Company entered into a royalty-bearing license agreement with Motorola whereby Motorola granted the Company perpetual license rights to what are now 74 issued U.S. patents relating to Motorola’s OLED technologies, together with foreign counterparts in various countries. These patents will all expire in the U.S. by 2018. On March 9, 2011, the Company purchased these patents from Motorola, including all existing and future claims and causes of action for any infringement of the patents, pursuant to a Patent Purchase Agreement. The Patent Purchase Agreement effectively terminated the Company’s license agreement with Motorola, including any obligation to make royalty payments to Motorola. The technology acquired from Motorola is being amortized over a period of 7.5 years. Fujifilm Patent Acquisition On July 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Patent Sale Agreement with Fujifilm. Under the agreement, Fujifilm sold more than 1,200 OLED-related patents and patent applications in exchange for a cash payment of $105.0 million, plus costs incurred in connection with the purchase. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, including respective covenants not to sue by both parties thereto. The agreement permitted the Company to assign all of its rights and obligations under the agreement to its affiliates, and the Company assigned, prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the agreement, its rights and obligations to UDC Ireland Limited (UDC Ireland), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of the Republic of Ireland. The transactions contemplated by the agreement were consummated on July 26, 2012. The Company recorded the $105.0 million plus $4.5 million of purchase costs as acquired technology, which is being amortized over a period of 10 years. BASF Patent Acquisition On June 28, 2016, UDC Ireland entered into and consummated an IP Transfer Agreement with BASF. Under the IP Transfer Agreement, BASF sold to UDC Ireland all of its rights, title and interest to certain of its owned and co-owned intellectual property rights relating to the composition of, development, manufacture and use of OLED materials, including OLED lighting and display stack technology, as well as certain tangible assets. The intellectual property includes knowhow and more than 500 issued and pending patents in the area of phosphorescent materials and technologies. These assets were acquired in exchange for a cash payment of €86.8 million ($95.8 million). In addition, UDC Ireland also took on certain rights and obligations under three joint research and development agreements to which BASF was a party. The IP Transfer Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. UDC Ireland recorded the payment of €86.8 million ($95.8 million) and acquisition costs incurred of $217,000 as acquired technology, which is being amortized over a period of 10 years. Other Intangible Assets As a result of the Adesis acquisition, the Company recorded $16.8 million of other intangible assets, including $10.5 million assigned to customer relationships with a weighted average life of 11.5 years, $4.8 million of internally developed IP, processes and recipes with a weighted average life of 15 years, and $1.5 million assigned to trade name and trademarks with a weighted average life of 10 years. December 31, 2017 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Customer relationships $ 10,520 $ (1,314 ) $ 9,206 Internally-developed IP, processes and recipes 4,820 (468 ) 4,352 Trade name/Trademarks 1,500 (218 ) 1,282 Total identifiable intangible assets $ 16,840 $ (2,000 ) $ 14,840 Amortization expense related to other intangible assets was $1.4 million, $615,000 and none for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense is included in amortization of acquired technology and other intangible assets expense line item on the consolidated statements of income and is expected to be $1.4 million for each of the next five fiscal years. Goodwill As a result of the Adesis acquisition, the Company recorded $15.5 million of goodwill. The Company performs its annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year unless events suggest an impairment may have been incurred in an interim period. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires the exercise of judgment, including the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of reporting units using an income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. As part of the annual assessment of goodwill completed during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017, there were no significant indicators to conclude that an impairment of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Adesis had occurred. |

RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN | 10. RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: The Company funded OLED technology research at Princeton University and, on a subcontractor basis, at the University of Southern California for 10 years under a Research Agreement executed with Princeton University in August 1997 (the 1997 Research Agreement). The principal investigator conducting work under the 1997 Research Agreement transferred to the University of Michigan in January 2006. Following this transfer, the 1997 Research Agreement was allowed to expire on July 31, 2007. As a result of the transfer, the Company entered into a new Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Southern California to sponsor OLED technology research and, on a subcontractor basis, with the University of Michigan. This new Sponsored Research Agreement (as amended, the 2006 Research Agreement) was effective as of May 1, 2006 and had an original term of three years. On May 1, 2009, the Company amended the 2006 Research Agreement to extend the term of the agreement for an additional four years. The 2006 Research Agreement superseded the 1997 Research Agreement with respect to all work being performed at the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan. Payments under the 2006 Research Agreement were made to the University of Southern California on a quarterly basis as actual expenses were incurred. The Company incurred a total of $5.0 million in research and development expense for work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement, which ended on April 30, 2013. Effective June 1, 2013, the Company amended the 2006 Research Agreement again to extend the term of the agreement for an additional four years. The Company incurred a total of $4.6 million in research and development expense for work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement during the extended term. Effective May 1, 2017, the Company amended the 2006 Research Agreement once again to extend the term of the agreement for an additional three years. As of December 31, 2017, in connection with this amendment, the Company was obligated to pay the University of Southern California up to $6.6 million for work to be performed during the remaining extended term, which expires April 30, 2020. From May 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, the Company incurred $520,000 in research and development expense for work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement. In connection with entering into the 2006 Research Agreement, the Company amended the 1997 Amended License Agreement to include the University of Michigan as a party to that agreement effective as of January 1, 2006. Under this amendment, Princeton University, the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan have granted the Company a worldwide exclusive license, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, lease and/or sell products and to practice processes based on patent applications and issued patents arising out of work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement. The financial terms of the 1997 Amended License Agreement were not impacted by this amendment. On October 9, 1997, the Company, Princeton University and the University of Southern California entered into an Amended License Agreement (as amended, the 1997 Amended License Agreement) under which Princeton University and the University of Southern California granted the Company worldwide, exclusive license rights, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, lease and/or sell products and to practice processes based on patent applications and issued patents arising out of work performed by Princeton University and the University of Southern California under the 1997 Research Agreement. Under this 1997 Amended License Agreement, the Company is required to pay Princeton University royalties for licensed products sold by the Company or its sublicensees. For licensed products sold by the Company, the Company is required to pay Princeton University 3% of the net sales price of these products. For licensed products sold by the Company’s sublicensees, the Company is required to pay Princeton 3% of the revenues received by the Company from these sublicensees. These royalty rates are subject to renegotiation for products not reasonably conceivable as arising out of the 1997 Research Agreement if Princeton University reasonably determines that the royalty rates payable with respect to these products are not fair and competitive. The Company is obligated, under the 1997 Amended License Agreement, to pay to Princeton University minimum annual royalties. The minimum royalty payment is $100,000 per year. The Company recorded royalty expense in connection with this agreement of $9.7 million, $5.8 million, and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The Company also is required, under the 1997 Amended License Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the licensed OLED technology to market. However, this requirement is deemed satisfied if the Company invests a minimum of $800,000 per year in research, development, commercialization or patenting efforts respecting the patent rights licensed to the Company. |

EQUITY AND CASH COMPENSATION UNDER THE PPG AGREEMENTS | 11 . EQUITY AND CASH COMPENSATION UNDER THE PPG AGREEMENTS: On September 22, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated OLED Materials Supply and Service Agreement with PPG Industries (the New OLED Materials Agreement), which replaced the original OLED Materials Agreement with PPG Industries effective as of October 1, 2011. The term of the New OLED Materials Agreement ran through December 31, 2015 and shall be automatically renewed for additional one year terms, unless terminated by the Company by providing prior notice of one year or terminated by PPG by providing prior notice of two years. The agreement was automatically renewed through December 31, 2018. The New OLED Materials Agreement contains provisions that are substantially similar to those of the original OLED Materials Agreement. Under the New OLED Materials Agreement, PPG Industries continues to assist the Company in developing its proprietary OLED materials and supplying the Company with those materials for evaluation purposes and for resale to its customers. Under the New OLED Materials Agreement, the Company compensates PPG Industries on a cost-plus basis for the services provided during each calendar quarter. The Company is required to pay for some of these services in all cash. Up to 50% of the remaining services are payable, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, with the balance payable in cash. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable to PPG Industries is determined based on the average closing price for the Company’s common stock during a specified number of days prior to the end of each calendar half-year period ending on March 31 and September 30. If, however, this average closing price is less than $20.00, the Company is required to compensate PPG Industries in cash. No shares were issued for services to PPG for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The Company is also required to reimburse PPG Industries for raw materials used for research and development. The Company records the purchases of these raw materials as a current asset until such materials are used for research and development efforts. The Company recorded research and development expense of $1.7 million, $2.3 million and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in relation to the cash portion of the reimbursement of expenses and work performed by PPG Industries, excluding amounts paid for commercial chemicals. |

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | 12. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: Preferred Stock The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by the Company’s Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Company’s Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of shareholders of the Company’s common stock. In 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock (Series A) to American Biomimetics Corporation (ABC) pursuant to a certain Technology Transfer Agreement between the Company and ABC. The Series A shares have a liquidation value of $7.50 per share. Series A shareholders, as a single class, have the right to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. This right has never been exercised. Holders of the Series A shares are entitled to one vote per share on matters which shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The Series A shareholders are not entitled to any dividends. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had issued 200,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which were outstanding. Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had issued 48,476,034 shares of common stock of which 47,118,171 were outstanding. Scientific Advisory Board and Employee Awards During the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, the Company granted a total of 5,590 and 27,967 shares, respectively, of fully vested common stock to employees and non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board for services performed in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In connection with the issuance of these grants, 605 and 8,106 shares, with fair values of $55,000 and $410,000, were withheld in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations in 2017 and 2016, respectively. Dividends During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.12 per common share or $5.7 million, on the Company’s outstanding common stock. On February 20, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: Equity Compensation Plan In 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock option plan, which was most recently amended and restated in 2014 and is now called the Equity Compensation Plan. The Equity Compensation Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights and performance units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Stock options are exercisable over periods determined by the Compensation Committee, but for no longer than 10 years from the grant date. Through December 31, 2017, the Company’s shareholders have approved increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Compensation Plan to 10,500,000, and have extended the term of the plan through 2024. As of December 31, 2017, there were 2,497,948 shares that remained available to be granted under the Equity Compensation Plan. Stock Options The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2017 for all the grants under the Equity Compensation Plan (in thousands, except share and per share data): Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at January 1, 2017 3,500 $ 15.99 Granted — — Exercised (2,250 ) 16.89 Forfeited/ Expired (750 ) 17.24 Cancelled — — Outstanding at December 31, 2017 500 10.04 Vested and expected to vest 500 10.04 Exercisable at December 31, 2017 500 $ 10.04 No stock options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015. A summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable by price range at December 31, 2017 is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data): Outstanding and Exercisable Exercise Price Number of Options Outstanding at December 31, 2017 Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (A) $10.04-$15.06 500 1.5 $ 10.04 $ 81 (A) The difference between the stock option’s exercise price and the closing price of common stock at December 31, 2017. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $146,000, $507,000 and $12.0 million, respectively. There was no compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, 13,959 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $429,000, were tendered to net share settle the exercise of options. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no shares of common stock were tendered to net share settle the exercise of options. In connection with the exercise of options during the year ended December 31, 2015, 30,186 shares with a fair value of $1.3 million were withheld in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations. Stock Awards The following table summarizes the activity related to restricted stock unit (“RSU”) share based payment awards: Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested, January 1, 2017 131,119 $ 45.44 Granted 69,497 116.58 Vested (84,407 ) 46.38 Forfeited (5,526 ) 54.99 Unvested, December 31, 2017 110,683 $ 88.91 The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSU awards granted was $116.58, $53.85 and $41.09 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fair value as of the respective vesting dates of RSUs was $8.3 million, $5.4 million and $5.6 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table summarizes the activity related to restricted stock award (“RSA”) share based payment awards: Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested, January 1, 2017 749,955 $ 46.64 Granted 3,604 83.25 Vested (173,022 ) 47.14 Forfeited/ Canceled (600 ) 49.70 Unvested, December 31, 2017 579,937 $ 46.72 The weighted average grant-date fair value of RSA awards granted was $83.25, $65.37 and $43.49 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fair value as of the respective vesting dates of RSAs was $14.8 million, $8.6 million and $7.3 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Restricted Stock Awards and Units The Company has issued restricted stock awards and units to employees and non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board with vesting terms of one to six years. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant for awards granted to employees and equal to the market price at the end of the reporting period for unvested non-employee awards or upon the date of vesting for vested non-employee awards. Expense for restricted stock awards and units is amortized ratably over the vesting period for the awards issued to employees and using a graded vesting method for the awards issued to non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded, as compensation charges related to restricted stock awards and units issued to employees and non-employees, selling, general and administrative expense of $8.5 million, $6.6 million and $5.8 million, manufacturing expense of $443,000, $1.1 million and $178,000 and research and development expense of $1.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The majority of the Company’s restricted stock awards and units that vested in 2017, 2016 and 2015 were net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate tax authorities. The total shares withheld were approximately 89,661, 84,135 and 99,345 for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were based on the value of the restricted vesting dates as determined by the Company’s closing stock price. Total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to taxing authorities were $7.8 million, $4.5 million and $4.2 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded as compensation charges related to all restricted stock units to non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board whose unvested shares are marked to market each reporting period, research and development expense of $976,000, $242,000 and $426,000, respectively. Board of Directors Compensation The Company has granted restricted stock units to non-employee members of the Board of Directors with vesting terms of approximately one year. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock units are issued and expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded compensation charges for services performed related to all restricted stock units granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, selling and administrative expense of $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $865,000, respectively. Restricted stock issued to non-employee members of the Board of Directors during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was 27,500, 30,000 and 29,167 shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the total unrecognized cost related to RSUs and RSAs was $30.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.47 years. Performance Unit Awards The following table summarizes the activity related to performance unit awards (“PSU”) share based payment awards: Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested, January 1, 2017 93,769 $ 46.02 Granted 24,664 105.65 Vested (45,118 ) 39.72 Forfeited — — Unvested, December 31, 2017 73,315 $ 62.36 During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company granted 24,664 and 25,045 performance units, of which 7,817 and 12,520 are subject to performance-based vesting requirements and 7,821 and 12,525 are subject to market-based vesting requirements, and will vest over the terms described below. In 2017, there were also 9,026 incremental performance-based shares that vested resulting from an increased vesting factor based on Company performance. The weighted average grant date fair value of the performance unit awards granted was $105.65, $58.46 and $35.98 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as determined by the Company’s common stock on date of grant for the units with performance-based vesting and a Monte-Carlo simulation for the units with market-based vesting. Each performance unit award is subject to both a performance-vesting requirement (either performance-based or market-based) and a service-vesting requirement. The performance-based vesting requirement is tied to the Company's cumulative revenue growth compared to the cumulative revenue growth of companies comprising the Nasdaq Electronics Components Index, as measured over a specific performance period. The market-based vesting requirement is tied to the Company's total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of companies comprising the Nasdaq Electronics Components Index, as measured over a specific performance period. The maximum number of performance units that may vest based on performance is two times the shares granted. Further, if the Company's total shareholder return is negative, the performance units may not vest at all. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded, as compensation charges related to all performance stock units, selling, general and administrative expense of $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $854,000, manufacturing expense of $119,000, $133,000 and $17,000 and research and development expenses of $276,000, $356,000 and $237,000, respectively. In connection with the vesting of performance units during the year ended December 31, 2017, 19,217 shares with an aggregate fair value of $1.6 million were withheld in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, no shares were withheld in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations. As of December 31, 2017, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs was $1.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.69 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On April 7, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The ESPP was approved by the Company’s shareholders and became effective on June 25, 2009. The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. Unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors, the ESPP will expire when all reserved shares have been issued. Eligible employees may elect to contribute to the ESPP through payroll deductions during consecutive three-month purchase periods, the first of which began on July 1, 2009. Each employee who elects to participate will be deemed to have been granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the purchase period. Unless the employee opts out during the purchase period, the option will automatically be exercised on the last day of the period, which is the purchase date, based on the employee’s accumulated contributions to the ESPP. The purchase price will equal 85% of the lesser of the closing price per share of common stock on the first day of the period or the last business day of the period. Employees may allocate up to 10% of their base compensation to purchase shares of common stock under the ESPP; however, each employee may purchase no more than 12,500 shares on a given purchase date, and no employee may purchase more than $25,000 of common stock under the ESPP during a given calendar year. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company issued 9,730, 9,386 and 12,246 shares, respectively, of its common stock under the ESPP, resulting in proceeds of $734,000, $439,000 and $354,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded charges of $69,000, $45,000 and $34,000, respectively, to selling, general and administrative expense, $46,000, $15,000, $9,000, respectively, to manufacturing expense and $94,000, $67,000 and $50,000, respectively, to research and development expense, related to ESPP equal to the amount of the discount and the value of the look-back feature. |

On March 3, 2015, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors amended the SERP to include salary and bonus as part of the plan. Prior to this amendment, the SERP benefit did not take into account any bonuses. The purpose of the SERP, which is unfunded, is to provide certain of the Company’s executive officers with supplemental pension benefits following a cessation of their employment. As of December 31, 2017 seven The SERP benefit is based on a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary and in certain cases, the participant's average annual bonus for the most recent three fiscal years ending prior to the participant's date of termination of employment with the Company for the life of the participant. For this purpose, annual base salary means 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable to the participant during the 24-month period immediately preceding the participant’s date of termination of employment, or, if required, the date of a change in control of the Company. Under the SERP, if a participant resigns or is terminated without cause at or after age 65 and with at least 20 years of service, he or she will be eligible to receive a SERP benefit. The benefit is based on a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary and bonus for the life of the participant. This percentage is 50%, 25% or 15%, depending on the participant’s benefit class. If a participant resigns at or after age 65 and with at least 15 years of service, he or she will be eligible to receive a prorated SERP benefit. If a participant is terminated without cause or on account of a disability after at least 15 years of service, he or she will be eligible to receive a prorated SERP benefit regardless of age. The prorated benefit in either case would be based on the participant’s number of years of service (up to 20), divided by 20. In the event a participant is terminated for cause, his or her SERP benefit and any future benefit payments are subject to immediate forfeiture. The SERP benefit is payable in installments over 10 years, beginning at the later of age 65 or the date of the participant’s separation from service. Payments are based on a present value calculation of the benefit amount for the actuarial remaining life expectancy of the participant. This calculation is made as of the date benefit payments are to begin (later of age 65 or separation from service). If the participant dies after reaching age 65, any future or remaining benefit payments are made to the participant’s beneficiary or estate. If the participant dies before reaching age 65, the benefit is forfeited. In the event of a change in control of the Company, each participant will become immediately vested in his or her SERP benefit. Unless the participant’s benefit has already fully vested, if the participant has less than 20 years of service at the time of the change in control, he or she will receive a prorated benefit based on his or her number of years of service (up to 20), divided by 20. If the change in control qualifies as a “change in control event” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, then each participant (including former employees who are entitled to SERP benefits) will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the present value of the benefit immediately upon the change in control. Certain of the Company’s executive officers are designated as special participants under the SERP. If these participants resign or are terminated without cause after 20 years of service, or at or after age 65 and with at least 15 years of service, they will be eligible to receive a SERP benefit. If they are terminated without cause or on account of a disability, they will be eligible to receive a prorated SERP benefit regardless of age. The prorated benefit would be based on the participant’s number of years of service (up to 20), divided by 20. The SERP benefit for special participants is based on 50% of their annual base salary and bonus for their life and the life of their surviving spouse, if any. Payments are based on a present value calculation of the benefit amount for the actuarial remaining life expectancies of the participant and their surviving spouse, if any. If they die before reaching age 65, the benefit is not forfeited if the surviving spouse, if any, lives until the participant would have reached age 65. If their spouse also dies before the participant would have reached age 65, the benefit is forfeited. The Company records amounts relating to the SERP based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, rate of compensation increases, retirement dates, and life expectancies. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the SERP benefits. In connection with the initiation and subsequent amendments of the SERP, the Company recorded cost related to prior service of $14.3 million as accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2017. The prior service cost is being amortized as a component of net periodic pension cost over the average of the remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. The prior service cost expected to be amortized for the year ending December 31, 2018 is $2.2 million. Information relating to the Company’s plan is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 27,563 $ 22,594 Service cost 1,214 1,415 Interest cost 1,013 875 Actuarial loss 2,952 2,679 Plan amendment 434 — Benefit obligation, end of year 33,176 27,563 Fair value of plan assets — — Unfunded status of the plan, end of year $ 33,176 $ 27,563 Current liability — — Noncurrent liability $ 33,176 $ 27,563 The accumulated benefit obligation for the plan was approximately $30.4 million and $24.7 million 2017 2016 The components of net periodic pension cost were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Service cost $ 1,214 $ 1,415 $ 1,186 Interest cost 1,013 875 618 Amortization of prior service cost 1,667 1,660 1,550 Amortization of loss 457 15 — Total net periodic benefit cost $ 4,351 $ 3,965 $ 3,354 The measurement date is the Company’s fiscal year end. The net periodic pension cost is based on assumptions determined at the prior year end measurement date. Assumptions used to determine the year end benefit obligation were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 Discount rate 3.22 % 3.57 % Rate of compensation increases 3.50 % 3.50 % Assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Discount rate 3.41 % 3.57 % 3.78 % Rate of compensation increases 3.50 % 3.50 % 3.50 % Actuarial gains and losses are amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost over future years based upon the average remaining service period of active plan participants, when the accumulation of such gains or losses exceeds 10% of the year end benefit obligation. The cost or benefit of plan changes that increase or decrease benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost or credit) is included in the Company’s results of income on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. The estimated amounts to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the net periodic pension cost in 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Amortization of prior service cost $ 1,683 Amortization of loss 473 Total $ 2,156 Benefit payments, which reflect estimated future service, are currently expected to be paid as follows (in thousands): Year Projected Benefits 2018 $ 1,214 2019 2,548 2020 2,670 2021 2,756 2022 3,167 2023-2027 18,885 Thereafter 22,125 |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Commitments Under the 2006 Research Agreement with USC, the Company is obligated to make certain payments to USC based on work performed by USC under that agreement, and by Michigan under its subcontractor agreement with USC. See Note 10 for further explanation. Under the terms of the 1997 Amended License Agreement, the Company is required to make minimum royalty payments to Princeton. See Note 10 for further explanation. The Company has agreements with six executive officers and one employee which provide for certain cash and other benefits upon termination of employment of the officer in connection with a change in control of the Company. If the executive’s employment is terminated in connection with the change in control, the executive is entitled to a lump-sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of the average annual base salary and bonus of the officer and immediate vesting of all stock options and other equity awards that may be outstanding at the date of the change in control, among other items. In order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate material supply, the Company entered into a New OLED Materials Agreement (see Note 11) that allows PPG Industries to procure and produce inventory based upon criteria as defined by the Company. These purchase commitments consist of firm, noncancelable and unconditional commitments. In certain instances, this agreement allows the Company the option to reschedule and adjust the Company’s requirements based on its business needs prior to firm orders being placed. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company had purchase commitments for inventory of $14.2 million, $5.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Patent Related Challenges and Oppositions Each major jurisdiction in the world that issues patents provides both third parties and applicants an opportunity to seek a further review of an issued patent. The process for requesting and considering such reviews is specific to the jurisdiction that issued the patent in question, and generally does not provide for claims of monetary damages or a review of specific claims of infringement. The conclusions made by the reviewing administrative bodies tend to be appealable and generally are limited in scope and applicability to the specific claims and jurisdiction in question. The Company believes that opposition proceedings are frequently commenced in the ordinary course of business by third parties who may believe that one or more claims in a patent do not comply with the technical or legal requirements of the specific jurisdiction in which the patent was issued. The Company views these proceedings as reflective of its goal of obtaining the broadest legally permissible patent coverage permitted in each jurisdiction. Once a proceeding is initiated, as a general matter, the issued patent continues to be presumed valid until the jurisdiction’s applicable administrative body issues a final non-appealable decision. Depending on the jurisdiction, the outcome of these proceedings could include affirmation, denial or modification of some or all of the originally issued claims. The Company believes that as OLED technology becomes more established and its patent portfolio increases in size, so will the number of these proceedings. Below are summaries of certain active proceedings that have been commenced against issued patents that are either exclusively licensed to the Company or which are now assigned to the Company. The Company does not believe that the confirmation, loss or modification of the Company’s rights in any individual claim or set of claims that are the subject of the following legal proceedings would have a material impact on the Company’s materials sales or licensing business or on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including its consolidated statements of income, as a whole. However, as noted within the descriptions, some of the following proceedings involve issued patents that relate to the Company’s fundamental phosphorescent OLED technologies and the Company intends to vigorously defend against claims that, in the Company’s opinion, seek to restrict or reduce the scope of the originally issued claim, which may require the expenditure of significant amounts of the Company’s resources. In certain circumstances, when permitted, the Company may also utilize the proceedings to request modification of the claims to better distinguish the patented invention from any newly identified prior art and/or improve the claim scope of the patent relative to commercially important categories of the invention. The entries marked with an "*" relate to the Company’s UniversalPHOLED® phosphorescent OLED technology, some of which may be commercialized by the Company. Opposition to European Patent No. 1394870* On April 20, 2010, Merck Patent GmbH; BASF Schweitz AG of Basel, Switzerland; Osram GmbH of Munich, Germany; Siemens Aktiengesellschaft of Munich, Germany; and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., of Eindhoven, The Netherlands filed Notices of Opposition to European Patent No.1394870 (the EP '870 patent). The EP '870 patent, which was issued on July 22, 2009, is a European counterpart patent, in part, to U.S. patents 6,303,238; 6,579,632; 6,872,477; 7,279,235; 7,279,237; 7,488,542; 7,563,519; and 7,901,795; and to pending U.S. patent application 13/035,051, filed on February 25, 2011 (hereinafter the “U.S. '238 Patent Family”). They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. An Oral Hearing was held before a European Patent Office (EPO) panel of first instance in Munich, Germany, on April 8-9, 2014. The panel rejected the original claims and amended the claims to comply with EPO requirements by more narrowly defining the scope of the claims. The '870 patent, in its amended form, was held by the panel to comply with the EPO requirements. The Company believes the EPO's decision relating to the broad original claims is erroneous and has appealed the ruling to reinstate a broader set of claims. Subsequent to the filing of the appeal, BASF withdrew its opposition to the patent. A hearing on the merits of the appeal has now been scheduled for the first quarter of 2018. This patent, as originally granted by the EPO, is deemed valid during the pendency of the appeals process. At this time, based on the Company’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the patent being challenged should be declared valid and that at least some of the Company’s claims will be upheld. However, the Company cannot make any assurances of this result. Opposition to European Patent No. 1390962 On November 16, 2011, Osram AG and BASF SE each filed a Notice of Opposition to European Patent No. 1390962 (the EP '962 patent), which relates to the Company’s white phosphorescent OLED technology. The EP '962 patent, which was issued on February 16, 2011, is a European counterpart patent to U.S. patents 7,009,338 and 7,285,907. They are exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. The EPO combined the oppositions into a single opposition proceeding, and a hearing on this matter was held in December 2015, wherein the EPO Opposition Division revoked the patent claims for alleged insufficiencies under EPC Article 83. The Company believes the EPO's decision relating to the original claims is erroneous, and has appealed the decision. Subsequent to the filing of the appeal, BASF withdrew its opposition to the patent. The patent, as originally granted by the EPO, is deemed valid during the pendency of the appeals process. At this time, based on its current knowledge, the Company believes that the patent being challenged should be declared valid and that all or a significant portion of the Company's claims should be upheld. However, the Company cannot make any assurances of this result. Opposition to European Patent No. 1933395* On February 24 and 27, 2012, Sumitomo, Merck Patent GmbH and BASF SE filed oppositions to the Company's European Patent No. 1933395 (the EP '395 patent). The EP ‘395 patent is a counterpart to the EP ‘637 patent, and, in part, to U.S. Patents 7,001,536; 6,902,830; and 6,830,828, and to JP patents 4358168 and 4357781. This patent is exclusively licensed to the Company by Princeton, and the Company is required to pay all legal costs and fees associated with this proceeding. At an Oral Hearing on October 14, 2013, the EPO panel issued a decision that affirmed the basic invention and broad patent coverage in the EP '395 patent, but narrowed the scope of the original claims. On February 26, 2014, the Company appealed the ruling to reinstate a broader set of claims. The patent, as originally granted by the EPO, is deemed to be valid during the pendency of an appeals process. Two of the three opponents also filed their own appeals of the ruling. In January 2015, Sumitomo withdrew its opposition of the '395 patent, and the EPO accepted the withdrawal notice. The appeal proceedings were held in the second quarter of 2016. As a result of the proceedings, the board concluded the oral proceedings and proposed to reinstate a broader set of claims pending the resolution of a remaining question of the applicable law, a question that the board has deferred to the Enlarged Board of Appeals for review. In December 2017, the Enlarged Board of Appeals issued a written opinion in which they have generally followed the Company’s reasoning regarding the question of law. The written opinion should be used as guidance by the EPO opposition panel when the oral proceedings are rescheduled. The originally-granted claims remain in force during the pendency of this process. In addition to the above proceedings and now concluded proceedings which have been referenced in prior filings, from time to time, the Company may have other proceedings that are pending which relate to patents the Company acquired as part of the Fujifilm patent or BASF OLED patent acquisitions or which relate to technologies that are not currently widely utilized in the marketplace. |

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting The cumulative-effect adjustment on retained earnings resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-09 was a net windfall tax benefit of $26.5 million as of January 1, 2017. The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in December 2017 resulted in a one-time charge of $11.5 million in the fourth quarter. The charge includes two elements, a tax on accumulated overseas profits and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Without the TCJA, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the effective income tax rate and income tax expense would have been 22.8% and $34.2 million. Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Deferred tax asset: Net operating loss carry forwards $ - $ 3,405 Capitalized technology license 804 4,163 Capitalized research expenditures 3,719 8,100 Accruals and reserves 962 6,712 Retirement plan 7,125 9,723 Deferred revenue 206 516 Tax credit carry forwards 21,562 1,846 Stock-based compensation 1,819 2,889 Other 59 874 36,256 38,228 Valuation allowance (2,460 ) (7,950 ) Deferred tax assets 33,796 30,278 Deferred tax liability: Accruals and reserves (6,774 ) (5,785 ) Deferred tax liabilities (6,774 ) (5,785 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 27,022 $ 24,493 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company's ability to generate future taxable income to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. As part of its assessment, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. During the year ended December 31, 2017, based on previous earnings history, a current evaluation of expected future taxable income and other evidence, we determined to retain the valuation allowance that relates to New Jersey research and development credits. The valuation allowance that related to UDC Ireland was almost completely utilized to offset income earned by this entity during the year; and the remainder has been released. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid foreign taxes on South Korean royalty and license fee income of $14.9 million, $12.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively, which were recorded as current income tax expense. SDC has been required to withhold tax at a rate of 16.5% upon payment of royalties and license fees to the Company. The Company’s 2013 federal income tax return was audited by the Internal Revenue Services with no change; the years 2014 to 2016 are open and subject to examination. The state and foreign tax returns are open for a period of generally three to four years. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE | 19. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE: The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period excluding unvested restricted stock units and performance units. Net income allocated to the holders of the Company's unvested restricted stock awards is calculated based on the shareholders proportionate share of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on an if-converted basis. For purposes of determining diluted net income per common share, basic net income per share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares outstanding, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance units, and the impact of shares to be issued under the ESPP. The following table is a reconciliation of net income and the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 (in thousands, except share and per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Numerator: Net income $ 103,885 48,070 14,678 Adjustment for Basic EPS: Earnings allocated to unvested shareholders $ (1,638 ) (734 ) (138 ) Adjusted net income $ 102,247 47,336 14,540 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding – Basic 46,725,289 46,408,460 46,816,394 Effect of dilutive shares: Common stock equivalents arising from stock options and ESPP 2,611 5,398 267,145 Restricted stock awards and units and performance units 77,294 122,122 410,649 Weighted average common shares outstanding – Diluted 46,805,194 46,535,980 47,494,188 Net income per common share: Basic $ 2.19 $ 1.02 $ 0.31 Diluted $ 2.18 $ 1.02 $ 0.31 For the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the combined effects of unvested restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance unit awards and stock options of none, 2,981 and 17,055, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as their impact would have been antidilutive. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN30
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Display Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, UDC, Inc., UDC Ireland Limited, Universal Display Corporation Hong Kong, Limited, Universal Display Corporation Korea, Y.H., Universal Display Corporation Japan GK, Universal Display Corporation China, Ltd. and Adesis, Inc. (Adesis). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations Accounting for acquisitions requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which is when all information necessary is obtained not to exceed one year, adjustments may be recorded to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of income. |
Management's Use of Estimates | Management’s Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates made are principally in the areas of the use and recoverability of inventories, intangibles and income taxes including realization of deferred tax assets, and retirement benefit plan liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its remaining investments as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is a result of chemical sales, royalties and license fees. These receivables have historically been paid timely. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, the Company believes there is no significant risk of collection. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, allowances for doubtful accounts would be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was none, $100,000 and none at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, including inventory consigned to customers, and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventory valuation and firm committed purchase order assessments are performed on a quarterly basis and those items that are identified to be obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage are written down to their estimated realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are based upon management’s analyses and assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. A 12-month rolling forecast based on factors, including, but not limited to, production cycles, anticipated product orders, marketing forecasts, backlog, and shipment activities is used in the inventory analysis. If market conditions are less favorable than forecasts or actual demand from customers is lower than estimates, additional inventory write-downs may be required. If demand is higher than expected, inventories that had previously been written down may be sold. Certain of the Company’s customers have assumed the responsibility for maintaining the Company's inventory at their location based on the customers' demand forecast. Notwithstanding the fact that the Company builds and ships the inventory, the customer does not purchase the consigned inventory until the inventory is drawn or pulled by the customer to be used in the manufacture of the customer’s product. Though the consigned inventory may be at the customer’s physical location, it remains inventory owned by the Company until the inventory is drawn or pulled, which is the time at which the sale takes place. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of thirty years for building, fifteen years for building improvements, and three to seven years for office and lab equipment and furniture and fixtures. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and betterments are capitalized. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in other operating expenses. Certain costs of computer software obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Costs for maintenance and training, as well as the cost of software that does not add functionality to an existing system, are expensed as incurred. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Company management continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances might indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision, or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. As of December 31, 2017, Company management believed that no revision to the remaining useful lives or write-down of the Company’s long-lived assets was required, and similarly, no such revisions were required for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015. |
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth fiscal quarter and, when specific circumstances dictate, between annual tests. If it is determined that goodwill has been impaired, then its carrying value is written down to fair value. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be conducted; otherwise, no further steps are necessary as no potential impairment exists. If necessary, the second step to measure the impairment loss would be to compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Any excess of the reporting unit goodwill carrying value over the respective implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment as of December 31, 2017 utilizing a qualitative evaluation and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of Adesis (see Note 3) is greater than its carrying value. Company management believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. Future impairment tests will continue to be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if a triggering event occurs. As of December 31, 2017, no indications of impairment exist. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable approximate fair value in the accompanying financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company’s other financial instruments, which include cash equivalents and investments, are carried at fair value. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue | Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue Material sales relate to the Company’s sale of its OLED materials for incorporation into its customers’ commercial OLED products or for their OLED development and evaluation activities. Material sales are recognized at the time title passes, which is typically at the time of shipment or at the time of delivery, depending upon the contractual agreement between the parties. The Company receives license and royalty payments under certain commercial, development and technology evaluation agreements, some of which are non-refundable. These payments may include royalty and license fees made pursuant to license agreements and certain commercial supply agreements. Amounts received are deferred and classified as either current or non-current deferred revenue based upon current contractual remaining terms; however, based upon on-going relationships with customers, as well as future agreement extensions and other factors, amounts classified as current as of December 31, 2017 may not be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months. For arrangements with extended payment terms where the fee is not fixed and determinable, the Company recognizes revenue when the payment is due and payable. Royalty revenue and license fees included as part of commercial supply agreements are recognized when earned and the amount is fixed and determinable. If the Company used different estimates for the useful life of the licensed technology, or if fees are fixed and determinable, reported revenue during the relevant period would differ. Contract research services revenue is revenue earned by performing organic and organometallic synthetics research, development and commercialization on a contractual basis. These services range from intermediates for structure-activity relationship studies, reference agents and building blocks for combinatorial synthesis, re-synthesis of key intermediates, specialty organic chemistry needs, and selective toll manufacturing. These services are provided to third-party pharmaceutical and life sciences firms and other technology firms at fixed costs or on an annual contract basis. Revenue is recognized as services are performed with billing schedules and payment terms negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis. Payments received in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. In other cases, services may be provided and revenue is recognized before the client is invoiced. In these cases, revenue recognized will exceed amounts billed and the difference, representing amounts which are currently unbillable to the customer pursuant to contractual terms, is recorded as an unbilled receivable. Technology development and support revenue is revenue earned from government contracts, development and technology evaluation agreements and commercialization assistance fees, which includes reimbursements by government entities for all or a portion of the research and development costs the Company incurs in relation to its government contracts. Revenues are recognized proportionally as research and development costs are incurred, or as defined milestones are achieved. In 2017, the Company's most significant commercial license agreement was a 2011 license agreement with Samsung Display Co., Ltd. (SDC) covering the manufacture and sale of specified OLED display materials. Under the 2011 agreement, the Company was being paid a license fee, payable in semi-annual installments over the agreement term of 6.4 years. The installments, which were due in the second and fourth quarter of each year, increased on an annual basis over the term of the 2011 agreement. The 2011 agreement conveyed to SDC the non-exclusive right to use certain of the Company's intellectual property assets for a limited period of time that were less than the estimated life of the assets. Ratable recognition of revenue was impacted by the agreement's extended increasing payment terms in light of the Company's limited history with similar agreements. As a result, revenue was recognized at the lesser of the proportional performance approach (ratable) and the amount of due and payable fees from SDC. Given the increasing contractual payment schedule, license fees under the 2011 agreement were recognized as revenue when they became due and payable in the second and fourth quarter of each year. At the same time the Company entered into the 2011 patent license agreement with SDC, the Company also entered into a supplemental material purchase agreement with SDC. Under the 2011 supplemental material purchase agreement, SDC agreed to purchase from the Company a minimum dollar amount of phosphorescent emitter materials for use in the manufacture of licensed products. This minimum purchase commitment was subject to SDC’s requirements for phosphorescent emitter materials and the Company’s ability to meet these requirements over the term of the supplemental agreement. The 2011 license and purchase agreements with SDC expired on December 31, 2017, and on February 13, 2018, the Company entered into a new patent license agreement and supplemental purchase agreement, with an effective date of January 1, 2018. These 2018 agreements extend for a five-year term and provide SDC with an option to extend the agreements for two additional years. Under the 2018 license agreement, SDC has a non-exclusive license to make and sell certain OLED displays under the Company’s patent portfolio, and pays license fees to the Company. The 2018 supplemental purchase agreement provides for certain minimum annual purchase obligations of phosphorescent emitter material from the Company for use in the manufacture of licensed products. SDC is currently the largest manufacturer of AMOLED displays for handset and other personal electronic devices. In 2015, the Company entered into an OLED patent license agreement and an OLED commercial supply agreement with LG Display Co., Ltd. (LG Display) which were effective as of January 1, 2015 and superseded the 2007 commercial supply agreement between the parties. The new agreements have a term that is set to expire by the end of 2022. The patent license agreement provides LG Display a non-exclusive, royalty bearing portfolio license to make and sell OLED displays under the Company's patent portfolio. The patent license calls for license fees, prepaid royalties and running royalties on licensed products. The prepaid royalty amount is included in deferred revenue and a portion of this amount can be credited against total royalties due over the life of the contract. The agreements include customary provisions relating to warranties, indemnities, confidentiality, assignability and business terms. The agreements provide for certain other minimum obligations relating to the volume of material sales anticipated over the term of the agreements, as well as minimum royalty revenue to be generated under the patent license agreement. The Company expects to generate revenue under these agreements that are predominantly tied to LG Display’s sales of OLED licensed products. The OLED commercial supply agreement provides for the sale of materials for use by LG Display, which may include phosphorescent emitters and host materials. In 2016, the Company entered into an OLED Technology License Agreement and Commercial Material Supply Agreement with Tianma Micro-electronics Co., Ltd. (Tianma) which were both effective July 21, 2016 and run for five years. Under the license agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary UDC Ireland Limited, has granted Tianma non-exclusive license rights under various patents owned or controlled by the Company to manufacture and sell OLED display products. The license agreement calls for license fees and running royalties on licensed products. Additionally, the agreement provides for the sale of phosphorescent OLED materials to Tianma for use in its licensed products. In 2017, the Company entered into long-term, multi-year agreements with BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. (BOE). Under these agreements, the Company granted BOE non-exclusive license rights under various patents owned or controlled by the Company to manufacture and sell OLED display products. The Company has also agreed to supply phosphorescent OLED materials to BOE. The Company records taxes billed to customers and remitted to various governmental entities on a gross basis in both revenues and cost of material sales in the consolidated statements of income. The amounts of these pass through taxes reflected in revenues and cost of material sales were $409,000, $171,000 and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. All sales transactions are billed and due within 90 days and substantially all are transacted in U.S. dollars. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements for discussion of revenue recognition under the new standard effective January 1, 2018. |
Cost of Sales | Cost of Sales Cost of sales consists of labor and material costs associated with the production of materials processed at the Company's manufacturing partners and at the Company's internal manufacturing processing facilities. The Company’s portion of cost of sales also includes depreciation of manufacturing equipment, as well as manufacturing overhead costs and inventory adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Expenditures for research and development are charged to operations as incurred. |
Patent Costs | Patent Costs Costs associated with patent applications, patent prosecution, patent defense and the maintenance of patents are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to successfully defend a challenge to a patent are capitalized to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patent. Costs that relate to an unsuccessful outcome are charged to expense. |
Amortization of Acquired Technology | Amortization of Acquired Technology Amortization costs relate to technology acquired from BASF, Fujifilm and Motorola. These acquisitions were completed in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Acquisition costs are being amortized over a period of 10 years for the BASF and Fujifilm patents and 7.5 years for the Motorola patents. |
Amortization of Other Intangible Assets | Amortization of Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets from the Adesis acquisition are being amortized over a period of 10 to 15 years. See Note 8 for further discussion. |
Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions | Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for the Company's Ireland subsidiary is also the U.S. dollar and the functional currency for each of the Company's Asia-Pacific foreign subsidiaries is its local currency. The Company translates the amounts included in the consolidated statements of income from its Asia-Pacific foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange rates, which the Company believes are representative of the actual exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. The Company's foreign subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars from the local currency at the actual exchange rates as of the end of each reporting date, and the Company records the resulting foreign exchange translation adjustments in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The overall effect of the translation of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions to date has been insignificant. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount of which the likelihood of realization is greater than 50%. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. |
Share-Based Payment Awards | Share-Based Payment Awards The Company recognizes in the consolidated statements of income the grant-date fair value of equity based awards such as shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance unit awards issued to employees and directors. The grant-date fair value of stock awards is based on the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. The fair value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures. The Company issues new shares upon the respective grant, exercise or vesting of the share-based payment awards, as applicable. Performance unit awards are subject to either a performance-based or market-based vesting requirement. For performance-based vesting, the grant-date fair value of the award, based on fair value of the Company's common stock, is recognized over the service period, based on an assessment of the likelihood that the applicable performance goals will be achieved and compensation expense is periodically adjusted based on actual and expected performance. Compensation expense for performance unit awards with market-based vesting is calculated based on the estimated fair value as of the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new revenue recognition standard entitled Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The new standard will mainly impact how the Company recognizes revenue on its commercial license and material supply agreements with customers. Currently, the Company recognizes revenue on license agreements with fixed-fee arrangements on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract agreement. In addition, the Company recognizes royalty revenue one quarter in arrears based on sales information received from its customers typically received after disclosing that quarter’s results. The rights and benefits to the Company’s OLED technology are conveyed to the customer through technology license agreements and material supply agreements. The Company has determined under the new standard that these agreements can be combined and that the licenses and materials sold under these combined agreements are not distinct from each other for financial reporting purposes and as such, will be accounted for as a single performance obligation. The Company also acknowledges that the rights to future patents or licenses would be distinct from existing patent rights. Accordingly, the total contract consideration will be estimated and recognized over the contract term based on material units sold. Under the new guidance, various estimates will need to be relied upon to recognize revenue. The Company will estimate total material fees to be purchased by its customers over the contract term based on historical trends and its forecast process. Additionally, management will estimate the total sales-based royalties based on the estimated net sales revenue of its customers. The Company is using the “modified retrospective” adoption method. The Company estimates that adoption of the new standard will result in an increase in deferred revenue of $21.3 million offset by a reduction of retained earnings of $21.0 million and unbilled receivables of $0.3 million. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No, 2016-02, Leases In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-16 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures |
